The festive ceremony dates back to 1923 during Calvin Coolidge's presidency.

White House decorators made a holiday decoration out of sharpened pencils emblazoned with the slogan.

While some of the decorations are par for the course - snowy white lights and well ornamented trees, the video also displays an alarming hallway full of BLOOD RED TREES. The underlying décor theme is the spirit of patriotism (take that, Angela Merkel).

The Blue Room is home to the White House's Christmas tree which towers at 18 feet tall.

During December, the White House will open its doors for more than 100 open house events.

The Gold Star tree is on display in the East Wing. Decorated by Gold Star families, this tree honors all our troops and families who have sacrificed greatly to protect our freedoms.

The traditional White House gingerbread house isn't exactly a house this year. Visitors are encouraged to write messages to their loved ones who are on duty or overseas with provided digital tablets.

It's that most wonderful time of the year when the kind of people who rail against the scourge of political correctness and oversensitivity get steaming mad if someone doesn't use their favorite holiday greeting.

In the center of the room was a Christmas tree to "represent how each child may excel in their own path through arts, education, sports and technology", according to the White House.

Each showcases a skyline from a different American city: New York, St. Louis, Chicago, and San Francisco. These include a massive gingerbread replica of the National Mall on display in the State Dining Room.
